In November, the largest number of American Bald Eagles in the world fly to Haines. Alaska. There are a lot of moose in Alaska. One boy even found a baby moose in his backyard.

In writing, we are learning the differences between our news reporter's voice and our storyteller's voice. When we use our storyteller's voice, it makes our writing more interesting and pulls the reader right into our story!Here we are practicing our different voices!

Our second Mystery Skype was with a 5th grade in Tennessee. We both guessed each other in the same amount of turns! We were so proud of ourselves. After the Mystery Skype we learned about their state and we shared some things about our state, Missouri!
